Weddings

My dear childhood friend Anita got married last summer! The thing you most defiantly don’t know about me – I started my photography career together with this lovely lady! We even went to our very first wedding together 11 years ago. Im so grateful for her, I’m not sure where would I be without our teenage photography experience. But now – please look at those pictures of happiness! It was green and amazing, and also there are not many evening pictures because I had to start being a guest at some point, you know 🙂

The date is not real and also the wedding is not, but joy most certainly is. It was -18C and winter day was waking up. We were vide awake tho and preparing to experience the magic of it.. and when sun was rising, we were taking pictures of this imaginary event. And it was amazing. Why did we froze out there? Oh, this was just for fun! To inspire you all not to be afraid of winter – it has its nice moments.

I could not wait for a chance to publish this amazing story for a very long time now! I am so very happy for a chance to join this amazing couple at their big day! It was magical – laughter, crying and crazy dancing at the end of it all. As I scroll through those images, I cant stop smiling.. it was THAT good.

Also I must admit – this dress wins my personal contest of all the dresses seen in 2017 🙂
Cheers!

Look at this! Have you seen colourful wedding dress like this? Madara is an artist and also DIY master – all you can see here couple made & decorated them self. This includes even tables and the patio for the party. Amazing! Please make sure to notice all the tiny people riding bicycles and doing other stuff in little tea cups on table decorations! I was truly amazed by amount of work they put into preparations. Get inspired, people!

I have been to many places and felt many emotions about all kinds of locations, so I’m sure to be sure – North is my favourite place on earth! The colder, the better. Also, I have been to around 300 weddings through my photography career, and I’m sure about my taste in weddings – the smaller and intimate, the better. So there you go – an amazing thing happened – I was invited to elopement to Norway! What a joy!
The couple comes from Latvia, but they have been living in Norway for many years, so they decided to get their kid and two of closest relatives and go to mountains (misty ones, as it turned out) to exchange vows and rings. It was magical! I’m very glad to have been there and witnessed this precious moment of them and their kid standing there in a surreal landscape of mist… Thank you, Eva and Sigvar for being such a good sports in all the rain and cold – they were amazing models and did not complain even once! Cheers to that!

Table setting: most wonderful DIY that I have ever seen done by couple
Bouquet: made by.. ME 🙂

I am the happiest person on earth. If a few years ago I had no problem to pick my favourite wedding of the season, then now it is a serious task. I’m having waaaay too many wonderful days, and my head is spinning trying to count all those magical moments. Here is one of the best ever – a story of Andis and Laura who got married in a middle of a forest. I have been sitting and smiling all day while sorting through pictures and my cheeks are hurting – as you will notice, Laura has an amazing smile and it impossible to not smile along (even in photos). May you have happy souls all life long, you two – fantastic people! Cheers!
